Study permit document checklist
Key documents IRCC expects before you apply from outside Canada.
Most study permit applications require a valid passport, letter of acceptance from a designated learning institution (DLI), proof of financial support, a study plan explaining your program choice, and any prior immigration history. Some countries require upfront medical exams or biometrics before submission. Start gathering documents early — processing times vary by visa office.
